Trump Trolled With 'Pathetic Loser' Sky Banner Near Mar-A-Lago
Donald Trump was trolled Sunday at his Mar-a-Lago golf resort with a sky banner calling him a “pathetic loser.”
To be more precise, the banner being pulled across the sky and photographed by witnesses (including a reporter from local CBS News station) read: “Trump you pathetic loser go back to Moscow.”
A second banner read: “Trump the worst president ever.”

Neighbors are threatening to sue to enforce zoning restrictions forbidding the club to be used as a legal residence, as Trump is doing.
The anti-Trump air stunt echoed a prank in 2018 while the then-president and his entourage were visiting his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland. A paragliding critic from Greenpeace teed off by Trump floated over the crew with a sign reading: “Trump Well Below Par #Resist.

It was unclear who was responsible for the Florida messages.
While many on Twitter appreciated the sentiments in the Florida sky, others thought it was a bit of a waste of money ... or anger. One wondered about...
